Home!

I arrived about 3:00 a.m. this morning. The night before I stayed in a motel in Amarillo. From Shreveport on my feet were swelling and coming out over the tops of my shoes. Painful. Getting horizontal and medicating helped a little in the motel but they started getting better more or less spontaneously as the day went on but home and flat on my back seemed like a really desirable goal. So I pressed on and have taken some refreshing naps today. An irritating inner itch is accompanying the return to normal which will take a few days I suspect but they are, nonetheless, much better. I am meds free today. Edema is a side-effect of one of my blood pressure meds-the one we arrived at after several trials of others. I feel between the devil and the deep blue sea on this so I'll explore alternatives.

Other than that I am feeling wonderful. I had forgotten how clean the air is in Wyoming and how clear it is. I was reveling in it. Came through a little snow near Moneta but it is fine and warm here today.

I will need to do some backing and filling on the blog on the return trip adventures.
